Ball Mill Operating Speed Mechanical Operations Solved
where R = radius of ball mill; r = radius of ball. For R = 1000 mm and r = 50 mm, n c = rpm. But the mill is operated at a speed of 15 rpm. Therefore, the mill is operated at 100 x 15/ = % of critical speed. If 100 mm dia balls are replaced by 50 mm dia balls, and the other conditions are remaining the same, Speed of ball mill = [/(2p)] x [/(1 )] = rpm
